Greetings from Acadia National Park

Greetings from Redwood National & State Parks
This was my first time visiting Redwoods and I must say, I was blown away by all the beauty I had seen there. This was the tail end of our summer trip that my girlfriend and her family take and as the saying goes, "save the best for last!" When…

Greetings from Yellowstone National Park
